Holly Madison 'met boyfriend on Twitter'

Holly Madison has revealed that she got together with her current boyfriend Jack Barakat through Twitter.

The former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner explained that she and the guitarist met after sending each other messages for months.

She told E! Online: "We met through a mutual friend and then somehow somebody retweeted something funny he said on Twitter.

"So I started following him, and then we started tweeting each other back and forth!"

Madison added: "So then we started direct messaging each other and then exchanged numbers.

"We were texting for months, and finally when I had my holiday, I was like, 'Do you wanna come hang out with me?' and he did and we hit it off right away."

Barakat appears in the first episode of Madison's new show Holly's World, which airs on Sunday on E!.
